What's youR story?

We know Jesus often taught and led with parables. Stories stay with us more than facts or data. Plus a story has a lot of dimensions, which can evolve in one's understanding over time. Also, different people will respond to a story in different ways and take away different lessons.

God gives us free will. God lets us choose our thoughts. What do you want as the story of your life? What do you want as the story for your family or community or business? The story will motivate you, if you let it. Your life story is your co-creation with God. Ask Him to begin to paint your story in your heart and mind for you, ask Him to show you. Dream big with your creator.

Change your story, change your world! Intentional stories for our communities, and  

making shifts with storytelling, does work. Mary Alice Arthur calls herself a "Story activist". It appears this lady is just super at getting groups of people to reflect on their current circumstances, envision and create a new and far better story for themselves, and then live to it. Sounds like a great idea! (This is a secular effort, a brief look at her website showed nothing as to any spiritual or political beliefs or affiliations.) 

Take a look at her video (https://vimeo.com/253238151) and site. 
She says: "Story is the human operating system."
She asks: "How do I ACTIVATE the stories that are going to be generative, that are actually going to help us live well together?"
She rejects thoughts of "that's the way things are". No. You get to CHOOSE your story.
